Connecting programs to NordRouter

NordRouter works with programs that can access the OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible API. Usually three values are enough:

Field in the program	What to indicate
Base URL / API URL / Endpoint	`https://nordrouter.com/v1`
API Key / Token	your key `sk-nr-…`
Model / Model ID	full ID from the directory, for example `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6`

Don't add /chat/completions

If the program specifically asks for Base URL, specify https://nordrouter.com/v1. She will add the path /chat/completions herself.

Which model to choose

For the first check use:

text

anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6

When the connection works, copy another ID frommodel catalog. The name must be copied in its entirety, along with the part up to /.

Quick check without program

If it is not clear whether the problem is in the program or in the key, run the request in the terminal:

bash

curl https://nordrouter.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-nr-ВАШ-КЛЮЧ" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Ответь одним словом: работает"}]
  }'

If curl responds but the program doesn't, check:

there is no extra /chat/completions in the Base URL;
in the end it didn’t work /v1/v1;
Model ID is specified in full;
the key starts with sk-nr- and is inserted without spaces;
OpenAI Compatible mode is selected, rather than logging in through the account OpenAI.
